I went for a tuning today of a YC PG-175. Before the tuning, however, I had to pull the action to fish out some paper clips. The tuning was going along great until I got to note F6. When you played the note with force, and as the damper returned to the string, there was a sound that sounds common as that of the damper wire brushing on the string upon it's return. Upon adjusting the damper wire, the sound remained. Here is what I have deduced. When I strike the note with force and remove my finger with force, the sound is there. However, when I strike the note forcefully, and slowly remove my finger, the sound is not there. I am wondering if it has something to do with the damper wire as it enters the head, the curve of the wire. Could that be possible. At this point, I have left it alone rather than trying to manipulate the wire by the head and having it break. Especially if I still may be off base here. Help appreciated.
